A glass hemisphere is silvered over its curved surface. A small air bubble in the glass is located on the central axis through the hemisphere 5 cm from the plane surface. The radius of curvature of the spherical surface is 7.5 cm, and the glass has an index of 1.50. Looking along the axis into the plane surface, one sees two images of the bubble. How do they arise and where do they appear?
